Smart Battery Capacity Testing Solution
Real‑time, Remote, Online Measurement of Actual Battery Energy Storage
What is Smart Battery Capacity Testing?
Smart Battery Capacity Testing is an online real-load discharge technology that measures battery capacity and SOH without interrupting critical power systems.

Limitations of Traditional Capacity Testing
Excessive heat & energy waste
Manual load-bank testing generates significant heat and consumes large amounts of energy, increasing cooling costs and safety risks.
Downtime risk
Requires disconnecting the battery from the system, exposing critical loads to potential power interruptions.
Inaccurate & inconsistent data
Manual data recording is error-prone and lacks repeatability, leading to unreliable capacity assessments.
Limited test depth
Single-bank tests can only reach 50% of rated capacity, failing to validate true battery health under full load.
Cell-Level Capacity Testing and the “Weakest Link“ Effect
The Weakest Link Effect
A battery string is only as strong as its weakest cell.
One under-performing cell can compromise the entire string under load.
Traditional string-level testing cannot locate the failing cell.
Testing Limitations of Manual Load Banks
Requires disconnecting the battery, causing downtime risk.
Only tests up to 50% of rated capacity - not full load.
Manual data recording is error prone and inconsistent.
Generates excessive heat and energy waste.
Consequences for Critical Operations
Shortened UPS backup time, increasing risk for critical loads.
Hidden weak links cause unexpected failures during outages.
Higher replacement frequency and rising O&M costs.
Increased risk of over-discharge and thermal runaway.
